Seriously… I was born and raised in southeastern Idaho, where it regularly stayed below zero for weeks on end; where we used to pray for snow so it would warm up. In my checkered youth, I once drove a road closed by snow in an attempt to get to a ski hill. (The ski hill was closed, too, it turned out.)

So I find all of this pretty amusing.

But, I’ve lived in Portland for 30 years now. Am I venturing out? No way! I will stay safely at home and laugh hysterically at all of those drivers out there who think they can go normal freeway speeds during an ice storm.

Remarks:

I myself am a native Oregonian and what’s with these people that they think they can get out in this? It boggles the brain.
